Well you don't know me but you don't like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge
Never walked the streets in Bakersfield
Spent some time in San Francisco
Well I spent a night there in the can
Well, they threw this drunkard in my jail cell
Took fifteen dollars from that man
But I left him my best watch and my house key
Don't like folks sayin' that I steal
Then I headed out to Bakersfield
